Network is the 1976 satire directed by Sidney Lumet (Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon) and written by Paddy Chayefsky that follows a fictional television network that tries to raise its struggling ratings by giving their mentally unstable news anchor his own commercial prime time show to express his rants. The cast included Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Robert Duvall, Ned Beatty, and Peter Finch, whose infamous onair rant in the film is still quoted to this day (Finch won a Best Actor Academy Award for his performance, but passed away before he could accept his award). The film is a modern-day cautionary tale of television, the commercialization of broadcast journalism, and the drive to win ratings at all costs.
The following weapons were used in the film “Network”:
IMI Uzi
The Great Ahmed Khan (Arthur Burghardt) uses a full size Uzi as he opens fire during a live television broadcast.
